| | Jazz (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jazz is a 1978 album by British rock band Queen. | | | It was the band's seventh studio album, and consisted of a mix of very different styles of music, from disco-funk ("Fun It") to vaudeville ("Dreamer's Ball") to rock and roll ("Dead On Time"). | | | The album artwork was suggested by Roger Taylor, who previously saw a similar design painted on the Berlin Wall. |

| | The bright spots in jazz's lousy 2002. By Fred Kaplan |
| | This is his first acoustic jazz album as a leader since '67, his first live album ever. | | | Younger ones are redefining the field, drawing on the full range of jazz tradition as well as on new cadences from pop, hip-hop, classical, and "world music," and melding it all with their own visions, naturally, spontaneously. | | | Douglas' trick is not to assemble an explicit "tribute album" with covers of tunes from the Miles songbook. |

| | Benson’s recent albums have focused on pop, but always contain some guitar instrumentals for the jazz fans, who remain the core of his audience. | | | Moving to Warner Brothers in 1977, Benson included one vocal track on his album Breezin’; to everyone’s surprise, that vocal ("This Masquerade") made to #10 on Billboard’s Pop chart. | | | His tone mellowed in time, with long, feathery lines; this can be heard on Breezin’, the first jazz album to sell a million copies. |

Though influenced by the West Coast-cool school, Brubeck's greatest interest and contribution to jazz was the use of irregular meters in composition, which he did with great flair. | | | When the CD finally came out i was disappointed as it lacked the brillance the Columbia 33 1/3 album had. |
